Stabilizer octahedron
ID: stabilizer-octahedron
The convex hull of the six Pauli eigenstates in the Bloch ball. A mixture has a Bloch vector obeying the displayed inequality. Conversely, assign weights to the corresponding signed vertices and distribute the leftover weight over any opposite pair; this realizes every vector satisfying the inequality. Single-qubit Clifford gates permute its vertices, while a T gate can take a vertex to a pure state outside it.
